Chapter 88: The Desperate Gap
No matter how much Li Jing and the others hated Wei Zheng, they didn't believe that he would fake the emperor's edict. Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng spoke, the three envoys knelt down without hesitation.
"I am in trouble, Chang'an is in turmoil, and the people are terrified. The thief committed murder under the sun, disobeyed the mandate of heaven, and ordered the three divisions of Ru to be tried, and announced to the world to consolidate the country. However, when I heard what the daughter of the king of Hejian said, the criminal was wronged, and he had a great grace to save his life, and I was very ashamed. You and the other three divisions should be aware of everything, and pardon them for their merits, so as to calm their hearts. β
The edict was read out quickly, although it was not known when Wei Zheng received the emperor's edict. But no one dared to ask. After Li Jing took the edict, he only glanced at the big seal on it, then closed it with a frightened expression, and led the other two to kowtow to thank him.
"How is it possible, Your Majesty personally issued an edict to pardon this kid? Master, did he miscalculate? β
Wei Tongyun was shocked, looking at the eyes of Wei Zheng and the others, he instantly turned from anger to doubt. No one could have imagined that things would end up like this. Not only Wei Tongyun, Liu Zhi and the other perjury-testimonished Onmyoji of the Imperial Temple, all of them were stunned and stayed in place. When he reacted, his eyes looking at Lu Xin were full of resentment.
"Hahahaha...... I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are really sage. Brother Xin, you are finally innocent. The emperor personally pardoned all your mistakes, even if you broke into the Shangshu Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, you two, why don't you release people quickly? β
Some people rejoice, some people are sad. The emperor's edict read by Wei Zheng was naturally heard by several people in Yue Buhei. The scholar was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the prisoner's cart and pushed away the two officials. At this time, Lu Xin seemed to be still trapped in Fang Cai's memories, and his expression was a little sluggish. But after seeing the scholar who pounced on him and forcibly hugged him, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's the dungeon of Dali Temple again, and it's the trial of the three divisions, but it scared me to death. Brother Xin, you have to pay me a big meal. β
"Okay, okay, just pay you. With you here, I can't die Lu Xin! β
After seeing the scholars, Yue Buhei and the Yang sisters one by one, Lu Xin's eyes gradually recovered. He suddenly realized that he was not alone. These friends of life and death in front of them trumped everything.
"Three lords, Your Majesty's edict has been delivered. As for how this case will be decided, please give an answer as soon as possible. Of course, it is better for the judgment to be presented to His Majesty by the Imperial Doctor. β
"Hmph, why did Lord Wei fall into the well. Since Your Majesty has a will, then this person should be acquitted. Take him away, and we will sort out the interrogation process of this case in its entirety and hand it over to His Majesty for his respect. β
After Li Jing got up, he snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves, and no longer looked outside the mansion, and went directly into the back hall. The other two three envoys left one after another, and the huge Yongzhou Mansion was instantly quiet. Lu Xin greeted Yue Buhei and the others for a while, and then walked up to Wei Zheng, Qian Hai and the others, and thanked them one by one.
"Brother Lu, Wei said that he wanted to return your innocence, but he never broke his promise, right? Hahahaha......"
"Thank you Brother Wei for running around, I will always remember this situation."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, Don't forget it forever, just invite me to a good drink. β
For Wei Qing, although they met in Pingshui, the two had similar temperaments and sympathized with each other, and they were gentlemen's friends. Lu Xin didn't say much thanks, all his thoughts were in the eyes of each other. But that Wei Zheng, who was the secretary and supervisor of the dynasty, was also a member of the third grade. It is really shocking that he would personally exonerate himself, and even get Li Shimin's pardon edict. However, it can also be seen from this that the relationship between Qian Hai and Wei Zheng is probably far more simple than ordinary friends.
"Lord Wei Zheng, except for the Qian Yuan, Lu Xin has bothered the two elders."
"It's okay, I've heard Qing'er say it a long time ago. You are righteous and have the heart to serve the country. I saw it today, and it was indeed a young hero. Besides, in private, the official and Brother Qian are close friends, and he should do his best to do what he entrusts. Yu Gong, as an official of the imperial court, must uphold the justice of the law and the holiness of His Majesty. If the three divisions try an unjust case, it will not only bring shame to the court, but His Majesty will also be blamed by the world. If that is the case, then it is the sin of our courtiers. β
"What Master Wei said is very true. Xiao Xin, it is our duty to clear your grievances, and you don't have to worry about it. But Brother Xu entrusted you to me, but I made you unjustly and humiliated in Chang'an, and you are really shameless to face your old friend! β
Qian Haichang sighed, a look of guilt on his face. Lu Xin hurriedly said something to comfort, and after a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wei Zheng said that he would return to the palace to resume his life. A few juniors naturally did not stop them, and they gave a salute and sent them off, until Wei Zheng and Qian Hai walked out of the gate of the mansion before they withdrew their gaze.
"Lu Gongzi, the grace of saving his life cannot be repaid. Little girl, I'll kowtow to you. β
Suddenly, Li Lingyu on the side walked up to Lu Xin and was about to kneel down as he spoke. This move not only frightened Lu Xin, but even Wei Qing looked shocked, and the two of them stepped forward to support him.
"The county lord is a daughter, and he must not perform this great gift. I didn't know the identity of the county lord that day, and I was offended, which was really the sin of the grass people. Today, if you hadn't come forward to testify, Lu Xin would have already entered the prison of the Criminal Department. If you really want to talk about kindness, you and I don't owe each other, so you don't have to. β
"But ......"
Li Lingyu was supported by Lu Xin and the others, how could she still kneel. Suddenly he looked hesitant and a little overwhelmed. Wei Qing hurriedly said a few more words beside him, and the county lord gradually smiled. Then, the lewd laughter of the scholar came to the ears of the three of them.
"Brother Xin, it's nonsense. Everyone is already hungry, so it's not too late to find a restaurant to eat first, and then linger with the beauty. β
"Hmph, full of foul language, looking for cuts."
Lu Xin pretended to be angry and rushed down the court, but the scholar couldn't stop laughing and circled around the courtyard of the mansion. Everyone instantly fell into a happy atmosphere, and seemed to have completely forgotten that there was another group of people in the mansion.
I don't know when, Liu Zhi and the others walked to Wei Tongyun's side. The Imperial Temple and his party blocked the exit of the mansion and were staring coldly at the seven young people in the courtyard. Wei Tongyun, in particular, made no secret of the sneer on his face. The mana gushed out in his body, covering the entire Yongzhou Mansion.
The sky darkened in an instant. The ground was frosty unconsciously, and Yue Bu was the first to notice the change in the environment, and put the folding fan away, signaling everyone to stop playing.
Lu Xin looked towards the gate, and Wei Tongyun was looking at him with a fierce gaze.
"Wei Tongyun, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting! The three divisions will hear public cases. Now, let's sort out our personal grievances. Your Majesty has forgiven you for your sins, but the Governor will not let you go unpunished. Even if Wang Quanyi was not killed by you, he has a broken arm with you. Now that he is dead, you say, should this revenge be avenged by the Governor? β
"Chief Manager Wei, Your Majesty has issued an order to pardon all Lu Xin's mistakes, do you want to resist the decree?"
Wei Qing came back to his senses, his face shocked. He obviously knew Wei Tongyun, and he knew that the head of the Imperial Temple had great powers. If the other party insists on making a move, Lu Xin and the others are afraid that they will not be able to resist it.
"Hmph, Wei Qing, this is a personal grudge, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, let alone you. You can leave with the county lord, and the chief will not stop you. β
When Wei Tongyun said this, the corners of his mouth lifted, and he suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Wei Qing and Li Lingyu in the air. The two of them almost didn't react, and flew out of the mansion directly. Immediately, the door "boomed" and closed tightly.
At the same time, the moon was not dark, and the Yang family sisters and Lu Xin immediately burst out of their mana. The scholar hurriedly hid in the corner, how dare he speak.
"Hahahaha, interesting. Two Miao Jiang girls, let the chief steward see what you Wu clan descendants have to do. β
After Wei Tongyun closed the gate of the mansion, he did not immediately deal with Lu Xin, but looked at the Yang sisters first. Seeing this, Yang Qin's already fiery personality flashed with golden light, and the person rushed out with a dagger. But in the next second, the dagger in Yang Qin's hand fell to the ground with a "clang". As for herself, she was pinched by Wei Tongyun's neck and couldn't move. Yang Xiu was shocked and angry when she saw this, and hurriedly took out a bamboo jar from her arms, unscrewed the lid, and recited two incantations in her mouth. A black cloud suddenly flew out of the can, and a strange noise appeared in the sky above the mansion.
The black cloud was composed of countless poisonous insects, and after flying out of the jar, it transformed into a human form and pounced on Wei Tunyun. This is Miao Jiang's Gu technique from Yin to Poison, as long as the body is bitten by one of the poisonous insects, it can turn into pus and blood within three breaths and die. However, Wei Tongyun seemed to be in a hurry, pinching the trick with one hand, and conjuring up a talisman out of thin air. Throwing it at the black cloud, all the poisonous insects instantly froze into ice cubes and fell from the sky.
"Hmph, carving insect skills, you can come over too!"
Wei Tongyun stretched out his hand, and Yang Xiu was captured by an irresistible mana, and it also fell into Wei Tongyun's hands. At the same time, Lu Xin and Yue Buhei both rushed to the door. But as soon as the two of them took half a step, two golden talismans fell from the sky above their heads, like two golden peaks, which made the two of them unable to move.
"There are many demons living in Chang'an City, but none of them will be as rampant as your little fox. You say, if the boss kills you, is it considered to be a demon subduing and eliminating demons? Hahahaha......"
"Wei Tongyun, if you openly resist the order, aren't you afraid of being beheaded all over the house?"
Lu Xin was furious, although he knew that even if the four of them worked together, they were not Wei Tongyun's opponents. But what he didn't expect was that no matter whether the Yang sisters or the moon was not dark, they couldn't make a move in Wei Tongyun's hands. Such a gap in strength is desperate. But he was still unwilling, after going through so much, he finally got rid of his sin, and he still had to fall into the hands of Xiaoxiao. even caused his friends to die together.
He hates! Hate yourself for being useless, hate yourself for being incompetent!
"Raiding all over the house? Hahahaha, you're so naΓ―ve. Do you think Your Majesty will really blame me for a few of you bugs? β
Wei Tongyun's eyes flashed with coldness, and Yue Buhei in the distance suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing in pain.
